Dirty depends partly on your definition.

For litter, NYC ranks number 1

Take note of how Chicago is on none of these lists too.

I don't think either city is stressful if you're the kind of person who likes cities. I think Chicago is "slower" (slightly) but also has a stricter code of etiquette and more of a "blend in/fit in" type of culture, so which one is more stressful depends on your perspective.

Chicago definitely has the more blend in type of culture which can be annoying to a certain degree.

Tell me about it. While watching news coverage of the snowstorm in the Northeast last night, I observed with delight that the Naked Cowboy is still around on the streets of NYC, playing his guitar and dressed only in his cowboy hat and underwear.

I think Chicago could use less conformity and more "Naked Cowboy" types (i.e., people who are delightfully weird).

In Stockholm we used to have a naked ( all naked) punk rocker playing his guitar at the Central station.

Agree. Way more weirdos & Lady Gaga type chicks running around NYC. The people watching in NYC is unparalleled & Chicago does not come close in this respect. Whether this is a good thing or bad thing probably depends on your perspective.

With that being said, I heard it's easier to get laid in Chicago than it is in NYC. Is this true?
